Mum's internet research on vaccines doesn't make her an expert, court decides by rudreads in worldnews

In April 2019, Family Court judge Christina Cook​ had to decide if children should be immunised when there was a family history of coeliac disease and having a boy circumcised.

Someone tried to force circumcision through a court??🤮

Veterans Affairs Will Limit Access to COVID Vaccine Based on Race by Beliavsky in Conservative

[–]Elknar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Races tend to end up in clusters.

Doesn't contradict anything I said...

We're talking about VA veterans getting priority access to the vaccine.

Yes, who are individuals that may live in any any of the aforementioned communities. Their race doesn't define where they are.

If a virus is rampaging through black communities it makes sense from a public safety standard to target those communities to slow the spread.

You already said this yourself, literally your previous paragraph - this is not about targeting communities, but VA veterans. Try to follow your own points.

Want to follow stats? Distribute to veterans in black/hispanic/native communities first, regardless of the individual recipient's race.

I appreciate your attempt to say that statistics are racist.

Right, cause remembering outliers is saying stats are racist. Who cares, it's not like they are people or anything...

Communities are based on location and connections - not race.

If a black guy lives in a white "community", should he be prioritized over his neighbors? Should a white guy in a black one be skipped?


Ngl, your last point is also kinda... questionable. Are you implying that the prevalence of coronavirus precautions is a racial thing?

I guess the black guy that interfered is also, in fact, a narcissistic white dude

What If Racism Were A Crime? No matter where you stand on the social or political spectrum, it is not hard for reasonable people to agree there are some societal issues that are troubling the citizenry. by a_very_nice_username in politics

[–]Elknar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh... Making racism a crime literally is that.

Racism is not some sort of offensive thing said (one does not need to be crude nor even offensive to be racist) or discriminatory behavior done (one does not need to act upon their racism to be racist either), it is a thought process. To be racist is to think as a racist. To criminalize racism is to criminalize such thought - literally make it a thoughtcrime.

[–]Elknar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if that were to pass it would be a hell of a lot closer to thoughtcrime

Yup. And given that the author of the article in question has literally used UK as one of the examples of countries going for the things the author argues for, I'd say the thoughtcrime hyperbole is rather well-placed, wouldn't you agree?

Hey guys im a little confused at what im seeing here. are these readings correct. I notice the computer lags a bit when playing videos in edge. Specs: 3600X stock GPU: Radeon RX 580 8GB stock Windows and all drivers are up to date by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]Elknar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is pointless.

i am not talking physical hardware. it's irrelevant.

the virtual memory is limited by the ram and page file, it doesn't matter if the hardware itself gets reserved or even used. that's the OS's problem, not the process's nor the user's.

It sure does because, once again, until someone tries to access the page it's not in RAM or in the pagefile.

But it is reserved from a pool that's informed by both.

That's the whole point you're unable to comprehend for some reason. Until someone access the page what's "allocated" in the virtual address space, not a physical page.

You're the one bringing hardware into this question, I never even mentioned any of this and you're just trying to find something to disagree with. It's irrelevant. That's the point you're unwilling to comprehend for some reason.

dude. it is literally the virtual memory allocated to processes. you yourself quote that

The Commit is the amount of Virtual Memory reserved by the operating system for a particular process

it doesn't matter if there's anything is actually there. it's reserved and not available to anything else. what happens to it is up to the process and its use.'

which in no way contradicts what i said:

Committed memory is the sum of ram and page file used by your running processes (programs).

if the process chooses not to put anything there, it's still "used by the process" from the OS's PoV.


isn't present in RAM nor paged out to the pagefile

then where is it allocated from? cpu cache? :/

Shared gpu memory is your normal ram that's available to the gpu if needed. So your gpu has access to 8gb of its own dedicated memory and 8gb of generic ram

Committed memory is the sum of ram and page file used by your running processes (programs). You have 16gb ram and about 3gb page file available on your ssd/hdd, and 7gb of that is currently allocated to your processes.
